Jackfruit Vegan Pizza is a packed with flavor plus it’s simple to make, healthy, and nutritious!

Jackfruit Vegan Pizza is not only beautiful to the eye but it also holds a lovely flavor profile, and some awesome nutrition too! Green Jackfruit is a part of the fig family and when shredded and flavored it’s very similar texture to shredded chicken. We give ours a lovely toss in Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, kumquat citrus zest, and fresh basil! Our Jackfruit Vegan Pizza going to knock those socks right off!! 🙂

Jackfruit Vegan Pizza was a lot of fun to create because it has a special twist to it! I was invited to be apart of the The Recipe is Simple campaign by Bertolli and part of the task was to create using only 5 ingredients plus 1 additional of my choice. . . and that’s it!! (well, salt and pepper were given the “okay” too.)

My additional ingredient selection was a pre-made whole wheat pizza dough. I jump right into the kitchen to create because my creative mind was already off and running! It all began with a simple infusion of kumquat zest and minced basil into a 1/3 cup Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Then, I tossed the shredded green jackfruit in a similar combination and let them both sit for about 30 minutes to get all happy, cozy, and meld the flavors.

Our Jackfruit Vegan Pizza really began to take shape. . . I thinly slicing the kumquats and purple radish, pressed the pizza dough onto the pizza stone, and gave it a healthy rub down with the infused Bertolli Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, sprinkled on the seasoned jackfruit, and the rest of the ingredients excepting the basil leaves. AND tossed it into the oven! The Recipe is Simple! 🙂
